That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Great Oaks Charter School a distant remainder — means Great Oaks Charter School-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: combined.

student-counselor ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE counselors against total enrollment, districts that contract intervention or social-emotional staff outside the counselor classification may be under-counted Values this far below typical often correlate with unusually small scale or population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se — worth checking whether the underlying denominator is itself an outlier.
